When I connect to mIRC in Win8 I get the following msg: Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make change to this computer? Prog Name: mirc Publisher: Unk File Origin: Hard Drive on this computer

I get this nag everytime I start mirc. Then when I quit mirc I get the following nag.

Program Compatibility Assistant: This program might not have run correctly
You can get help on the MS website etc.

Another issue: Apparently there is a problem with mIRC using MS Agent. Microsoft updated MS Agent thru Win7 but MS is no longer supporting it. There is no update for Win8. Is there a way I can disable MS Agent on mirc since I do not use it?
